Former DIA chief: Investigation of manipulated ISIS intel should start with White House

Former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that any investigation of he possible manipulation of ISIS intelligence should start with the White House.

"Many of them have been deployed for many years in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere, so I think that the focus of really this investigation, they'll find whoever they're going to find and some of the tactical issues at central command, but the focus of this investigation ought to start at the top.

"Where intelligence starts and stops is at the White House. The president sets the priorities and he's the number one customer.

"So if he's not getting the intelligence he needs and if he's not paying attention to what else is going on, then something else is wrong there between them and the advisers he has," Flynn said.
